Well over the past few years I had to deal with several of the players because of my past job so here's my take on a few of the different players I dealt with:
Stubblefield-A bum on the d-line but a magician with a grill, great guy
Charles Mann-polite almost to a fault
B. Mitch-a loudmouth, arrogant yet totally loyal if he's on your side
Wuerffel-As nice and humble as you could imagine
Samuels-quiet, always on his cell phone
Kevin Lockett-wannabe renaissance man, will talk about anything but football
Westbrook-A total mystery, an ass when the camera is on, but so easy to talk to when there's no camera on even if you ask the same questions
And my three least favorites:
Lesli Shepherd and Albert Connell-Total waste of sperm, have no redeeming values whatsoever (hope there aren't any Connell or Shepherd relatives here)
Darell Green. This one is painful because he's one of my all time favorite players but let me give you a couple of examples of dealing with Darrell. Wanted to do a report about Mitchell's charity work (particularly Thanskgiving day). Got a call from Redskins Park. "Mr. Green would like to inform you that your tv station has two choices if it wishes to continue having him as a guest, drop the story on Brian Mitchell's charity work or do a story on Green's youth life foundation as well." I'm all for Green's charity but the fact that he would shove it down our throats all the time got a bit annoying. Here's another incident. Darrell Green is in studio as a guest for a sports special we're doing. So he's sitting there waiting for the show to start and one of our crew members asks him if he wouldn't mind, when he gets a chance, signing this football for his 6-year old grandson. Green's response "No, what's in it for me?" Still love seeing highlights of Green the player, but I'm no fan of Green the person
